cameosleuth, 3 months agoShe is cut in helmet shell. 'Flora' was a common subject on Victorian cameos, a woman dripping in flowers. In the early 20th century she morphed into what I think of as 'corsage ladies', pretty women with a more contemporary look, wearing a corsage on the shoulder, sometimes something that looks like a flower arrangement on top of the head. Your lady looks like a transitional figure: no longer quite Flora, more art nouveau influenced.

The setting is especially lovely, have never seen another quite like it. The findings, the hinge & clasp are also intermediate forms: more sophisticated than the simple T hinge & C clasp; not the types in use today.

If I'm doing the math correctly, grandmother was born in the early 1920s? The cameo brooch is of a type that was popular in the 20s & 30s. If she was the first owner, perhaps a gift for a significant birthday, such as 18 or 21, or perhaps a graduation gift. The other possibility is that she had it from her mother, but think she would have told you that?

As for value, the cameo market is all over the place right now. Your best guidance would come from checking eBay, etc., listings of recently sold cameos that are similar to yours. Do not go by what is being asked for cameos yet to be sold.
